Do you like it? If so then it’s great, as for layout the sc slots are pretty good just needs some tlc for better placement of modules.

Check out the pins as they have ideal layouts for each tool weapon and tech.

All SC slots are revealed.

[pulsar charm]

been using it for a while, it works well so far

just not sure if i want to invest a lot into it

[heady pond]

As long as you like it that’s all that matters, that determines how much you put into it or if it becomes a long term tool. at the end of the day it’s base stats and really negligible to focus on and SC slots are great but against anything PvE even one slot being used on a weapon is going to be fine.

Focus on those stats given by upgrade modules as they will make the most difference.

[tough hill]

I wasn't sure if the last SC slot was the one that needed repairs

[heady pond]

Oh lol it is, thought you meant a different row entirely lol

[tough hill]

All good 👍😛

[pulsar charm]

i just used all my multi tool upgrades on it

def using it long term now

[runic wedge]

Even being a C class, with a name like that I totally want it

[abstract haven]

Because?

[runic wedge]

Because, you never know when you might need some Shlom

[graceful urchin]

@tough hill Thank you so much for time to answer, I will look again to see if it gives the ??? or that i have it already scanned....

Still learning, just a beginner and so much to learn and look at 🙂

[graceful urchin]

@tough hill You where right, I had it already scanned, thanks for explaining! it drove me mad thinking i had done something wrong...

[remote glacier]

what should I be looking for in staff parts?

[woven epoch]

Inside cabinet in space station - outlaw system

[torpid roost]

Can’t I upgrade my scanner to make more units when I discover new creatures and formations

I’ve only been on one space station so far and it didn’t have the S tier upgrade so I’m gonna wait until I find that

[neat pike]

Mhm, with tech

[neat pike]

Yeah just hop between stations to get the tech you need

[torpid roost]

At first I was annoyed by that being a game feature but I actually really like it now as it gives you a good structural reason to get out and explore other star systems

[maiden mortar]

I am torn between these two multitools. Is class more important than supercharged spot location? I am trying to widdle down to 3 tools total, a staff, a sentinel and an atlantid so want to get rid of one of these

[mint wing]

Class u can always upgrade . Cant change SC slot layout

[maiden mortar]

good point, thanks

[glad mirage]

I’d heard that multitools found in pirate coves have lower base stats than average, is this true?

[tawdry siren]

If you can understand that is a small test case i did on Atlantid tools as you can see the damage on mt from outlaw space is lower than non outlaw

The lowest damage stat you can have on an atlantid tool is 10, and highest is 20 at s class

So at 11.8 in outlaw, id say thats near the bottom, and 19.8 in 3 star i checked, near the top

The stat reduction only applies to damage stat, so if you just want an MT to mine with, you might be ok in outlaw. Again the exception i believe is sentinel weapons

In also the same vein, a natural s class will usually have better damage stats than an mt that has been upgraded to s class. The exception again is sentinel weapons, where it doesnt matter where it is from.

[mighty monolith]

2 Black and 1 Grey S Class Atlantid Rifles

[glad mirage]

I’m using a sentinel 2-hander as my combat option, with a vanilla 2-hander as a variant

They’re both A rank currently

[turbid tiger]

question for y’all

how do I get staffs?

like what’s the easiest one to get

[gloomy lichen]

you get them from the "They Who Returned" questline

you get parts, and build your own

[turbid tiger]

Is that like late game?

[gloomy lichen]

uhhh somewhat

Once you complete the Artemis Path or the Atlas path, I can't remember which, it unlocks

[turbid tiger]

so how long of grinding would I have to do

oh

I am almost done both of those

[gloomy lichen]

Perfect!

[turbid tiger]

ah

I need to complete the Artemis

[gloomy lichen]

yes yes

[glass ledge]

What kind of multitool is best for general, non-specialized use?

[tough hill]

Whichever looks the best

A lot of people dig staves, and they are combat MTs

[sharp crystal]

whast with multitools too amany unique designs arughh

[lucid iris]

do tool damage bonuses affect mining speed?

[tough hill]

No

Although with the correct techs and adjacency, it probably won't be that different

[glad mirage]

Generic rifles have huge combat bonii and no mining bonii. Generic pistols have large mining bonii and no combat bonii. Any other model gives moderate bonii to both categories.

The reclaimed sentinel tech multitools you can get on Dissonant planets are a good start. Look for an abandoned mining camp, and be good at puzzles.

There's also the "royal" multitool you can rarely recover from defeating a sentinel pillar. They have minor bonii to both combat and mining, but an enormous bonus to scanning range. Think of them as the pacifist multitool option.

Most other styles of multitool are either post-game content or so rare you really shouldn't design a character build around them

[lucid iris]

theres no way bonii is a word lemme check this

[tough hill]

Rifles have low stats to compensate for the fact that they generally start with a lot more slots than your average tool, which is a huge bonus early on because slots are expensive to get on MTs, and get out of hand quickly, but they reach the same 60 slots max just the same so they tail off later.

Royal tool is very funky but shares its bonus with experimental, which is less funky but easier to get.

Staff share it's stats with sentinel tools, and is the only MT that's always visible

Atlantid tools are quite well hidden and give the best mining bonus.

Then there is alien, which I haven't looked at because while I am function over form, I hate how alien took looks

[glad mirage]

Alien tools are just 🍖

[golden onyx]

Been on an Atlantid Multitool hunt lately. Hopping around systems, marking the monoliths with purple save points. Here’s a couple with their glyphs & galaxy.

[knotty flax]

Nice atlantid

[tough hill]

That is pretty good

[knotty flax]

[knotty flax]

T slot staff

[fallow bronze]

Nice

[remote glacier]

Is there a showcase of staff parts somewhere?

[fluid lava]

anyone got mining upgrade module coordinates, i tried doing https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/1falr76/very_powerful_mining_module_number_2_in_the_top/ but the s class upgrade was not there for some reason

[tough hill]

Did you use the pommel head to make the staff?

[fluid lava]

i think so, is it not the reclaimed head

all the tech are in the right spot, the only thing thats missing was the mining upgrade on it

[tough hill]

I would try this, first, on the same terminal, try a random combination of parts, press the button to make staff, but before confirming to make it, back out to the staff part menu again, change the head, then do the make staff, back out trick again, then put the pommel head back on, the slots and colour of the staff should change from what it originally was when you first used the head, check if the mining upgrade is on that, if not, I am gonna take a look tonight

[fluid lava]

ill try it tonight, ty

[tough hill]

It's a quirk I found with those terminals, for some reason, after you try making staves twice in the same instance, the staff's stats changes on the third try, including its colours and final rank, even if parts used are the same

I used to use that to try for staves, but I got sick of it fairly quickly lol

[remote glacier]

if I have a particular staff design I want, can I manipulate things somehow to get a good sc layout?

[tough hill]

I only know to try at every different station you come across, and the way I described gives each terminal two "rolls" of the dice, as far as I could tell, it's been a while since I did it, but color scheme will change (my biggest gripe with it). I ended up giving up not too long after trying it several times, color scheme ended up being something I could not ignore and getting the colours and SC slots right is way too much effort

[fluid lava]

sadly i got the color right but not the module upgrade

[tough hill]

Things probably have changed then

I'll give it a shot tonight

[tough hill]

i got the same mods as you did, but ironically, that scanner is also a very highly rolled upgrade LOL

[tough hill]

Also if you did the trick of "second rolling" the terminal, you also get an S class upgrade out of it

Definitely not as good

[tough hill]

i take that back, the second rolling trick is far too unpredictable, the position of where you stand when you do the second rolling trick changes the outcome of the reroll lol

[regal mirage]

Wow I wish my multi tool had that many slots

[knotty flax]

I play on basically easy mode. I love the exploration aspect of nms. I'm not into survival aspects of games, I find it tedious, and I'm doing it irl so I don't wanna do it in a game too. Each to their own though. You could always change your options and add your slots for free, then switch back. It doesn't effect your save at all, as far as I've been told anyway.

[regal mirage]

I have a lot of plans, lotta lotta plans

[knotty flax]

Good! The possibilities on this game are vast. Such a great game

[regal mirage]

I've settled in a nice hyperborean planet and this specific biome is very good looking

But this is getting off topic

I'm going to look into getting a better multi tool

I heard there was a website about this exact thing

[knotty flax]

I'm sure there is. Are you looking to go pick up a nice one or go looking for one yourself?

[regal mirage]

Im going to try looking for one before resorting to other measures, I've moved to the east side of Euclid and there's lots of stars I havent explored yet

I regularly take photographs of planets I like so if I want to I could go to the coords of whatever planet I got in my gallery and scout it for multi tools

[thorn fiber]

Y'all, I'm genuinely confused. Help would be appreciated on this one.

So, I have this 2x2 SC Sentinel Multi-tool. I followed guides on how to basically make it do the insane DPS on YouTube. But my current output can barely one-shot a sentinel drone or a normal fauna for that matter. Am I doing something wrong?

[tough hill]

Try swapping the P field compressor with the neutron cannon

[thorn fiber]

That's what I did at first. Potential damage goes down by a whopping lot. Can't take a screenshot of the current damage, but it's approx 4-5k per charged shot.

Now I'm back to that initial screenshot layout and it's about 3.9-7k damage.

[tough hill]

OK, so not SC'ing Neutron cannon seemed to be better then. How long ago was the video guide you had used?

[thorn fiber]

I didn’t follow it exactly. Just showed what the good stats are for modules. Bought a couple of them at my base system and plopped em on.

Guides were like a year old at most.

[tough hill]

your tech layout isn't wrong, Did the guide actually show the performance of the weapon?

If you are at least two shotting most sentinel drones within 2 hits, that's pretty much my experience with them if that's any help

[thorn fiber]

Yeah. Their damage output on the side of the tool is 100k+ and actually one-shots drones.

I can barely break 49k.

[thorn fiber]

3-4, sadly. The walker ones take 5-6.

[tough hill]

Hang on, let me check on my unmodded game

hmm... your damage is very low for some reason, even though the mods are in the correct paces

this is mine

the SC slots are where the other 4 mods are

Unless the very big hottake here is that 2x2 isn't actually the optimal layout for neutron cannon??

[thorn fiber]

Maybe? I’ll try to look for guides that aren’t 2x2.

[tough hill]

There is nothing fundamentally different between 2x2 and non-2x2. but from what I could gather messing around with the techs, I noticed that the Cannon itself seem to benefit the most when being surrounded by adjacency bonus, but their techs suffer very heavily when not in SC, which makes the two philosophies clash completely

however, I would not place total reliance on the damage potential number, I would try a few configurations and try shooting stuff to check if they really are as damage or not as not damaging as the number suggest

One thing I noticed was the P-field compressor contributes very heavily towards the damage potential number, which is weird since it doesn't actually have any damage bonuses, which lets me theorize that your damage potential is bad because your non-damage stats on your X module is not great

It also takes me a few trigger pools to kill hardframes (the small walking thinies) and a few more to kill the big walker.

[thorn fiber]

I know it doesn't. It's just stange how my output is insanely lower than guides shown when I sometimes have mods with higher stats.

[thorn fiber]

The small ones are easy. It's the drones and walkers that take a while. My aim is pretty decent.

Just quite disappointed I worked hard on getting nanites to get a C-Class Sentinel Multi-Tool to S and the damage is almost similar to my random S-class pistol 🥲

[tough hill]

<

[tawdry siren]

Different weapons systems have different preferred weapon sc layouts. 2x2 square is excellent for pulse splitter, but bad for other weapon types.

Also a huge factor is the base weapon damage of the weapon. To see how approximetely how good the weapon is, remove all tech from the weapon except mining laser or equivilent, and see what figure it is.

[tawdry siren]

483.3 means its in the highest base damage bracket, the other three possibilities are: 466.7, 450.0, and 433.3.

And frostburns sc layout is better for that weapon system than 2x2

Shows best sc layout for each weapon type

[tough hill]

Thanks. I wasn't very sure if that really is the case ^^;

[tall edge]

What’s the point of having the hijacked laser and the mining beam?

[tough hill]

It practically doubles the speed of the mining laser without adding an extra weapon cycle listing

[tall edge]

Sweet. I’m glad I went with the sentinel multitool then. Now I just gotta get enough nanites to get it to S tier

[loud lake]

out with my twin 🤪🤪🤪shes crazy

[final sundial]

I have the atlantid one is it better or the same?

[tough hill]

When everything else is the same, atlantid is strictly better for mining than sentinel

A doubled up sentinel should be faster than a non-doubled atlantid, or at least be close, but should be slower than a double atlantid

[final sundial]

I have a double atlantid and it's supercharged slots are close by

[still tapir]

To get an S staff you need to hop autophage and sentinel camps and just buy the heads, then test build to see if its an S? No way to find out without spending the motes?

[tawdry siren]

Atlantid are best miners in game

[knotty flax]

I hear the optimal layout for neutron cannon is diamond slot formation. With the staff it leads to the most powerful multi tool on the entire game doing 200k damage potential

[knotty flax]

This is true. Apparently the one I posted is the optimal slot formation in an atlantid multi tool for the best mining

[tough hill]

That maybe true, I don't really see how staff plays into it though, is diamond formation SC layout Staff only?

[knotty flax]

No you can get a diamond slot layout on any multi tool. I have a diamond staff, a sentinel multi, and a classic multi tool

The staff, if found with the max damage points i.e an S-class, it can get to 200k

[tough hill]

How much lower was sentinel compared to the staff?

[knotty flax]

Ooooh I can't remember. I think when it's all upgraded and mods put it etc I think the sentinel is around 30-40k less

The staff is the most powerful, that much I do know for sure

[tough hill]

Hmm... can't completely rule out the roll of the dice on their damage mod

[knotty flax]

True, but I'm using the highest found ones as an example from a video I saw

[tough hill]

I'll see if I can get a diamond sentinel weapon sometime

[knotty flax]

I found one on reddit I believe. I searched on Google and it took me to a reddit post eventually where there was a nice diamond sentinel mt

[mint wing]

Remember that damage potential is not actual dmg.

For actual best dmg T layout is best from what i remember.

[tough hill]

For Neutron cannon?

[mint wing]

For weapon actual dmg in general

[knotty flax]

I think the T shape is best for classic ships and sentinels, but I don't think it is on the staff multi tool. However I haven't tested this myself, it's just what I've been told from various people in the community, and a video

Who knows

I'd be happy with a diamond, a T, and a Square tbh

To me, they all do over the damage you actually require anyway lol

[tawdry siren]

bad pic i know, not mine, but is from earlier in the channel, when i had a discussion with another person about neutron cannon

P type sc slots

Also Courtesy of Mythos

Again P sc layout

[mint wing]

Yeah P is second best after + layout in terms of max potential.

[glad mirage]

Orange transparent, the most powerful LEGO color

[mighty monolith]

I have a crochet MT but not a lego one

[still tapir]

Can I take my autophage staff pieces to different terminals hoping to get a better class, or is a C head always a C head at any terminal?

[tough hill]

The class, SC layout and colour changes every terminal

If you want consistency though, make sure, when you are trying different staff heads, back out of the interface completely after two tries, the terminal gets funky at the third try

[still tapir]

Thanks. Getting pretty unlucky, 6 or 7 different places and mine are all Cs. Ill keep at it

[tough hill]

Good luck

[tall edge]

How do I view my multi-tool collection?

[tough hill]

Bring up your quick menu, utilities, multitool

You can also build a weapon rack to store any tools you want to keep

[tall edge]

Thanks

[formal flame]

Anyone has coords for a yellow/orange and white staff? I would want a mt that would match with my starborn phoenix but I'm struggling to find one

[zenith bough]

Found my new perfect tool

[zenith bough]

Just got better forbidden tech and now its 27k

[cedar birch]

heyo, can i ask some info about the multitools?

like is it better to have multiple tools for different aspect of the game?

[zenith bough]

Technically, yes but the differences you get is so small its not really worth doing

Its better to just get one tool as maxed as possible

[cedar birch]

so isn't it better to have a staff / sentilnel for dps and 1 atlantic for mining?

[zenith bough]

You could if you want to go through the effort of finding a good one of each

[cedar birch]

good one for each?

arent' them all the same?

[zenith bough]

Certain tool types have different max stats

For example, a staff with the exact same setup as a sentinal wont have the same damage

[cedar birch]

how can i farm different tools?

[zenith bough]

Different systems usually

Experimental and alien can both be found from space stations but are rare

Atlantid is from monoliths in dissonant korvax systems once youve finished the autophage quests

And sentinal is from harmonic camps

Heres the different tools and whats best for what

[cedar birch]

no atlantid in the graph?

[zenith bough]

Its an older screenshot

Ill try to find one with atlantid and sentinal

There

[cedar birch]

can i ask you what tool do you sue?

use*

[zenith bough]

My current build with a sentinal tool

[tough hill]

I use 2 primary ones and one... experimental tool (no pun intended)

[cedar birch]

what aboutmining

is non visible?

[tough hill]

That MT has mining laser

the third from the left on the top row

[regal rover]

Is it true that rusted upgrades do not overload with normal ones? Cus this look kinda good no?

[cedar birch]

what about the laster?

[tough hill]

These are my two normal ones

[cedar birch]

what about damage, what do you use for damge? multi blaster?

[tough hill]

No idea actually

[cedar birch]

and what about the shield?

[zenith bough]

Whats your damage potential on the second one? Just curious

[tough hill]

I use the grey tool for mining, the red/black for blasting.

[zenith bough]

0-0

Im put to shame lol

Mines a boltcaster build though

[tough hill]

I got lucky with the SC layout

The 4 cannon techs are all SC'ed

[zenith bough]

I think i can min-max mine to over 30k

My main techs are sorta low still

[tough hill]

I don't know what my damage pot on boltcaster is, never tried

[zenith bough]

Highest ive seen is 32k

I went up like 7k just from getting better firerate on two forbiddens

[tawdry siren]

yes it is

[tough hill]

It is, but whether it's better enough that you'd need to dedicate an entire tool for the job is an entirely different matter. I personally use different tools, because binding tools to 123 rather than using weapon cycle to change weapons is much faster and less prone to errors, plus you have different SC slots for different things that will benefit you anytime you are using it

[zenith bough]

Im too lazy to swap my tools over for stuff so thats why i use one

[tough hill]

I am lazy but did the exact opposite lol, I get very annoyed when I cycle into terrain manip when I wanted pulse spitter

[tawdry siren]

atlantid is poop for damage, and I'd rather just dedicate sc slots to damage/mining/scanning

[tough hill]

Yep, but If I were to use one single MT, I would choose sentinel, double mining laser mitigate a lot of the downsides of sentinel over atlantid better than atlantid can mitigate its downsides vs sentinel

[tawdry siren]

my 3 multitools, 1 for damage, 1 for mining, 1 for scanning fauna etc

just specialising is like for min/maxing each activity and getting the most out of each

Going off the stats table, the worst atlantid is better than the best sentinel for mining, and vice versa for damage

[mint wing]

Double mining beam on my sentinel mines faster than double mining beam on my atlantid tho

[tough hill]

I don't think it matters too much by that stage, things gets mined so fast

[mint wing]

Need to go faster

[tough hill]

gonna suggest to HG to make red atlantid tools

cuz we all know, red wunz go fasta

[tawdry siren]

Thats what mining foods for

[devout turtle]

I would but resources gained is better

[tawdry siren]

I cant remember which i use tbh. I know i supercharged the resourses module to get 88% extra

Ill have to look at which food i have in my inventory next time i log on

[tough hill]

Can I ask, what is that C laser beam mod on the bottom right of that square?

[tawdry siren]

I think its a special one, not available in general gameplay anymore. Im not sure if it was like on an early mt or something. I use a mod that unlocks ship/multitool modules that you cant get in general gameplay anymore.

But have to unlock from anomoly still.

[devout turtle]

I like the stellarator, which gives a +64% bonus to resources mined that basically multiplies with that

I wanna use that power in permadeath so badly but the inventory limitations means I get far less out of it

[tough hill]

OK, thanks

[tawdry siren]

Plasma resonator, old tech that was removed

Gives extra mining speed i think

[tough hill]

Cool thanks

[frosty peak]

g'day, ive been warping about for a while (new player) whats a good planet to have like a first home, ive come across some grassy planets so something like that?

[mint phoenix]

Hay algún español que quiera jugar acabo de descargármelo y tngo gans de echarle horas

[kindred anvil]

NOt S but nice looking!!

[thorn fiber]

Not sure if it’s okay to respond here. But what I usually see is that people really like Paradise planets. Pretty much nothing major happens there so you never have to worry about dying.

If that “grassy” planet is Viridescent it’s pretty good but there’s occasional heat waves.

Personally, I have a base in almost every type of planet as each have their own respective resources I need from time to time. So, mini bases and teleporters. Don’t worry so much about where you build your “first home” find a place and make a base.

[tough fjord]

so im at my first space station. I wanna know if i should get a boltcaster mod or mining mod

[proud coral]

Hi I’m looking for an pistol multitool in the shape of an handgun with a small folding screen on the side anyone can show me a link or pic of That kind of multitool ?

[tough hill]

I'd go with mining

[tough fjord]

ok, what rank?C or b rank

[tough hill]

B if you can afford, C if you can't

[halcyon ferry]

What is considered good damage stats for a multitool?

[tawdry siren]

Only way to compare multitool damage between multitools, is to remove all weapons and upgrades except mining laser or equivilent, not supercharged and see what the figure is with just a mining laser.

[halcyon ferry]

Ok, ty. From that I'm guessing that tech upgrades are the bigger factor here rather than the stats of the tool, which makes sense.

[tawdry siren]

Different multitool types have different stat ranges, but cause upgrades change damage numbers, only way is to remove everything that upgrades the damage to see what the base damage of the multitool is.

[tawdry siren]

Alot also depends on the weapon system installed, for example something that does 30k damage but hits 5 times a second, and another weapon system might do 200k but every 5 seconds

[summer totem]

What do I do with the multi tools I don't use

[halcyon ferry]

I'd completely forgotten that multitool types was a a thing

[halcyon ferry]

Anomaly upper left side has a decommissioner

[summer totem]

Tnx

[proud coral]

Good evening I would like to know if anyone would have a link where it is possible to see the different models of multi-tools? Because I'm looking for one that I saw a long time ago that looks like a small gun with a foldable screen on the side and before I'm asked it's not the design of an experimental multi-tool it exists in the game thank you in advance to those who will help me in this search

[dark thorn]

maybe nmsapp

but imnot sure

[proud coral]

I will check it out thanks but after taking a look on two NMS wiki I have found nothing there are no other references sites to find that kind of information about that game ?

[dark thorn]

nmswiki and this app for mobile

[proud coral]

I have juste take a look on it but I don’t find any galery or section to watch all multi-tool models

[dark thorn]

um, let me try to find some for u

[proud coral]

As you wish 👌

[dark thorn]

u search something like that or with pictures?

that’s all types

and in every type different looking mulitool

[tawdry siren]

#nms-multitools message thats all we have here i think

[dark thorn]

here’s it

@proud coral

[tawdry siren]

If you are after a specific multitool, then no we dont have that, as there is too many to list anywhere, with all the part and colour variations

[proud coral]

I think it’s the white on the left corner just under the blue experimental one but I’m not sure how have you find these pics ?

[dark thorn]

it’s pinged in this channel mate

[dark thorn]

if u about this one

[tough hill]

Nothing special, but I just find this particular combination funny

[tough hill]

I am not sure if this is a bug or unintended, but from what I gather, there is an issue currently affecting Harmonic Station that you can only use it to assemble autophage staff the first time you unlock that station, after that, whenever the station relocks itself, and you unlock it again, you cannot use the staff assembly function. Just thought anyone who are staff hunting might want to know that

It has happened to me on two separate stations now

[thorn fiber]

I just finished the Autophage mission. I have no idea what I’m doing with “staff hunting” I may or may have not experienced that. 😂

[frozen cape]

It would be great if this were my first multitool?

I started playing today lol

[tough hill]

I'd be happy with that

[frozen cape]

But I only have 100k

And it costs 4 million

[tough hill]

The tool should stay on that space station so you have time

[frozen cape]

I already bought it

[thorn fiber]

Pretty solid. You’re better off than me as the S-class pistol I bought before had severely limited slots.

That will serve you well for a longgggg time.

[wanton parcel]

I just use the atlas sceptre

A-Class Atlantid multitool, SC slots when upgraded to S class. Stats shown are when upgraded to S class

[sleek mulch]

Is there a way to upgrade the class of my multitool for free

[devout turtle]

If the class upgrade memory fragments work on multitools

Good luck getting one, though, I think you can only get them from save editing or as a gift from a player who has them

[tropic salmon]

should i do this?

[mighty monolith]

2 Black and 4 Grey S Class Atlantid Rifles

Just found this today, first contact system in permadeath, at space station, forgot to get vanilla pic of it in the box

[distant wadi]

How did you figure out the base stats?

[tough hill]

Save editor

[tough hill]

Set the shop prices to free under difficulty options, essentially making the game creative mode

[distant wadi]

What’s that

[tough hill]

The most practical ones are Sentinel or Atlas staff, fewest downsides

[tough hill]

#nms-modding message

[sleek mulch]

What if it’s an expedition or permadeath save

[tough hill]

Never tried messing with difficulty with expedition, and IIRC shop prices cannot be changed to free if save deletion is enabled

[halcyon ferry]

Best method for finding royal multitools still sentinal pillars?

[devout turtle]

They dont show up anywhere else, lol

[halcyon ferry]

Goodness I've used five different sentinal maps and still haven't found one 🙁

[tawdry siren]

A save editor is an external program that enables you to view the data of your save, and if you want to, alter it. Its also a rabbit hole that is not recommended for new players as can spoil the game.

To answer your other question though, its the only way to see the true stats of a specific multitool or ship, so i posted it, as some people are interested in such things.

[distant wadi]

Thank you

[granite sierra]

what is the best tool to have

[tough hill]

The one that looks the best to you, most tools can be powered enough that it doesn't really matter all that much

If you want to min max, then consider using different tools for different jobs, since MTs buff different things, and you get more SC's.

[tough fjord]

should I buy it?

[fallow bronze]

Yea bc it has more technology slots and it has a higher class

[low obsidian]

More slots + better class than waveform = yes, plus you get the boltcaster weapon for free!

[tough fjord]

cant buy anymore.its gone

oh wait its back

[slate bay]

[stiff cape]

look what i just found

[glad mirage]

My second voltaic staff ever turned out A rank, with enough slots for a full compliment of mining modules. Go me.

[fallow bronze]

Good Job!

[idle breach]

This matches my ship perfectly 🥲

[knotty flax]

Found a royal multi tool. You can change its colour by reloading on different planets, so I named the planets to make it easier incase anyone wants it.

[low obsidian]

Thank you for your help, fellow traveller!

[knotty flax]

You are so welcome 😊👍

[crimson sky]

Are staffs the only multi tools that remain visible when walking around? Rest is only visible while firing, right?

[proven roost]

Hi guys, sorry im new to the game, Im currently looking for type S multi tool sentinel. Anyone have updated address where to get it? The one in youtube is 1 year ago and im not sure if it still updated.

[viscid tinsel]

Square supercharger Atlantid multi tool both same galaxy

[crimson sky]

How do you guys find these specific coordinates? You use some mod?

[mighty monolith]

Coords are displayed on your visor when you use it

[crimson sky]

Oops, that makes total sense, thank you! 🙏

[tough hill]

Yes they are, everything else gets hidden when walking around

[tough hill]

Try go to that coordinate anyway, if it's just a year ago chances that it could still work. I used a coordinate from 2022 (3 years ago) and the tool was still the same as advertised

[tawdry siren]

The only multitool locations that might not be valid that are older, will be multitools in non outlaw stations pre station update/facelift. As you are after a sentinel mt, it should be still good.

[lone wyvern]

What is that device

[tough fjord]

switch

[lone wyvern]

Ohh idk why it looks strange like an old screen

Colors took me off 😂

[lone wyvern]

I have a an multitool if you want me to give you, I just switched to a new one and was planning on selling the old one

[tough fjord]

pretty sure switch dosent have multiplayer

it is only avaliable for switch 2 players

[lone wyvern]

Sorry to hear that, best of luck traveler

[tough fjord]

thanks traveler.

[twin rampart]

where did you find that

[stiff cape]

I found it at a sentinel tower/pillar thing

[twin rampart]

alright thanks

[glad mirage]

Taking my voltaic staff into expedition 20 feels like cheating

And yet, my patience for mining only stretches so far

[teal imp]

wow

upgraded from A class

[late trench]

Does anyone know how to Increase the damage on let's say a Multitool, either on It's Mining Beam, If possible or overall? I don't know If I've hit max or not.

[tough hill]

The damage on a mining beam is correlated to its mining speed, so anything that increases mining speed will increase its mining damage. If however, your tool has a Runic lens (Atlantid or Atlas Sceptre) or Hijacked Laser (Sentinel), you can install a normal laser beam onto that tool and that will further increase its mining speed. Atlantid tool would push that further still as it has the highest innate mining speed stat

[late trench]

I'm using NMSSaveEditor, so I have modded In ABOVE the amount Atlas Sphere Is suppose to have, so I have about 433K Damage currently, I'm trying to get above It but I'm not sure If It's visually bugged or not.

[tough hill]

No idea then, I have not messed with the Save editor that touchs on the tools

Do you mean displayed damage stat on the atlas sceptre?

[late trench]

Yes. I can show you If you want.

It's this.

[tough hill]

Oh, that damage stat doesn't affect mining speed AFAIK

[late trench]

433.3K Damage, It doesn't go above anything.

[tough hill]

What weapon do you have equipped?

[late trench]

The Atlas Sphere

[tough hill]

Sorry, I meant the weapon tools you have installed in your sceptre

[late trench]

Uh, I don't know. What do you mean by Weapon tools?

[tough hill]

Boltcaster, Neutron cannon, etc

[late trench]

Ah!

Uhhhhh, Gelogy Cannon, Bolt Caster, Neutron Cannon, Plasma Launcher & Pulse Spitter

Oh! & Blaze Javelin

[tough hill]

All mods are highest possible values and all SC'ed?

[late trench]

I think so, I'm running Both the Sentinel & Illegal ones.

[tough hill]

I am out of idea then, you may hit a max, all I know mining beam upgrades don't affect its damage, and that it is possible to muck up that damage number by mods.

[late trench]

Ah rip, I'm just modifying my Console friends save at the moment with the same stuff lol.

[teal imp]

How do you even achieve these numbers

[late trench]

I have more space than what the Game allows you to.

I have a whole maxed Exosuit Inventory space on my Multitool

@teal imp

[teal imp]

Oh

Not bad

[heady pond]

Install more than one mining beam module either duplicates of the one (Tis will get you a greater output the more you install, typically 6 will get you a maximum output, or just install the mining beam, runic lens and hijacked laser. Via the save editor you can just unlock all three as a blueprint to be installed on any tool.

Alternatively via the JSON editor you can just change the damage value.

[late trench]

Oh, how do I do It VIA the Json Editor can you dm me It?

[heady pond]

While in the save editor and selected the save you are editing, go to edit (top left) then select edit raw JSON.

You’ll need to locate multitools which is in BaseContext, playerstatedata, multitools, the numbers are correlated to your multitools.

I will warn you tho, messing with JSON especially when you don’t have much knowledge on what you are editing can brick your save, please be careful and make backups.

Honestly the outcome of changing the value in JSON really does nothing, a high damage output can be achieved by just installing multiple mining beam modules, which won’t require JSON.

[hexed goblet]

how rare are these, found it in a sentinal pillar and ive never seen anything like this before

[fallow bronze]

There pretty rare I think but they are like better then most multi tools especially in scanner range

[tough hill]

They are fancier versions of experimental tools

I think they are rare enough, though I haven't really hunted for them

NIce find though, especially if the unrevealed SC slots is connected to the 2 on the left side

[glad mirage]

They literally ONLY drop from the sentinel pillars

You are a lucky knight

[proud coral]

Hi I’m looking for a pistol multi tool see long time ago anyone can show me a pic as exemple from the game ?

[proud coral]

I have take a look already on the pin and if I ask it’s because the multi tool I’m looking for doesn’t appear in the gallery it’s a pistol with a folding screen on the side anyone can show me a pic with that model of multi tool ?

[dry lichen]

post a pic

[proud coral]

Who are you taking about ?

Seriously ? Are kidding ? If I’m searching that kind of pic it’s not for nothing

[knotty flax]

Nah, these aren't rare nowadays. Grab a few sentinel pillar thingies and you'll find one of these within half an hour

Two of these, one at this location and one at the spacestation

[heady pond]

It helps to provide more details on what you are requesting, provide a reference image.

But anyway is this what you are asking about?

[remote glacier]

Do any staff multitool parts glow?

[neat pike]

Not sure if it really does glow that much, but radiant heart

There's also that one atlas multitool from an expe (forgot which)

[knotty flax]

Yes

Radiant parts: The Radiant Heart (head) and Radiant Chamber (core) and Radiant Bore (shaft) pieces of the staff will glow, typically a bright color such as green, red, pink, or purple, depending on the specific planet where the staff is assembled.
Runic parts: The Runic Focus (head) and Runic Core (core) and Runic Beam (shaft) parts also have a glow effect.

Google explains it better than me hehe

So I copied from there

[wanton parcel]

What did you find Universe

Speak to me

[knotty flax]

Not seen that one before. I've seen other colours with similar alien parts on it, but thats a new one for me

[knotty flax]

What are the slots like when upgraded?

[mighty nova]

Where do I find sentinel pillars

[knotty flax]

You have to buy the thingy to activate them from the cartographer at any spacestation

Like anomoly detectors and settlement charts, they look kinda similar

Once you activate one, you should find a sentinel pillar on practically any planet

[teal imp]

How do i find the experimental one multitool? I visited 30 3-star economy systems, met 3 exotic starships, 2 exotic S class and 1 A class multitools, saw two planets colliding and met 0 experimental multitools. i want to find it by myself not with coordinates

are they this rare?

[mighty monolith]

The 4th sc slot is there just hard to see. It's the one with the x class module in it next to the other s class slot on that row

[knotty flax]

Yep, far more rarer than any other multi tool

[knotty flax]

Aaaaah yeah, haha my eyes. I'm getting old haha

My bad. Ty

[mighty monolith]

Experiemtnal multitools aren't super rare, about the same chance as finding alien ones. When you are visiting all these systems u say u have been to, have u been reloading you game on all the planets in the system and seeing what spawns into the station cabinets ? The good tools aren't always the ones in the system poo.s

[knotty flax]

Aaah, alien ones. I tend to run into those quite alot

[mighty monolith]

Nah all good , they can be hard to spot when they are changing colour in the menu ,

[knotty flax]

Yeah lol

[teal imp]

yes, i was repeating the land-reload sequence for every planet in every systems and got about 2-3 alien multitools

[knotty flax]

I've found these and so many more, but I don't post glyphs on the bad slot ones

Thats why I haven't put some of these in here before

[mighty monolith]

Some really nice ones there

[knotty flax]

Yeah, some of them are banging tbf

The one on the bottom right is my favourite

The experimental

[mighty monolith]

Yep, anything with crystals, horns , or plasma tubes is a winner in my book

[knotty flax]

Indeed

[knotty flax]

The weird ones are the regular multi tools with alien parts

You can probably get some amazing combos, but I'm not sure how the regular multi tools compare with others

[mighty monolith]

I think my favourite style, is a lipstick alien rifle but u dont see that much

[knotty flax]

A lipstick rifle? Lol now I'm intrigued

[mighty monolith]

These style, with the crystal out the front of the alien rifle

https://youtube.com/shorts/cgFi-noXGl4?si=2k6TGnLeigBMHSz9

[tropic belfry]

It's a shame rifles like this can't have aa much damage as for example, the sentinels one

[tropic belfry]

THAT'S REAL?

[knotty flax]

Yeah it is, a huge shame

[tropic belfry]

I got deoxys as a gun but I farmed for a sentinel one cuz if the damage

[knotty flax]

Aaaaaah, yeah I've seen a few of these. Now I know which ones you mean lol

[mighty monolith]

Yep, I've got a few on the channel, they are rare , always nice to find one

[knotty flax]

Good call. The best multi tool for mining however is an atlantid

This is my mining multi tool

Apparently, it has the best slot formation you can possibly get for mining

[mighty monolith]

I do like a black atlantid

[knotty flax]

I love them

[tropic belfry]

This game NEEDS a system to put skins on multitools

[knotty flax]

I never take this one off tbh

[knotty flax]

What's akina?

[tropic belfry]

And I hate that cuz the Atlantic ones looks like a railgun so much

But such low damage

Sorry my bad now I edited it

[knotty flax]

They are the Kings of mining. I have a multi tool for mining, a different one for damage

[tropic belfry]

Ohhhh

I want a really strong railgun

[knotty flax]

Haha

That would be cool

I guess the sentinel multi tool is the closest you'll get to that

[tropic belfry]

It is sadly

I was hoping the game had mods to give skins to the weapons but nah to hard to do

[knotty flax]

I wish lol

Multi tool building would be a badass feature tbh

[tropic belfry]

YESSS

[knotty flax]

Only staffs can do it right now

[tropic belfry]

The game needs to give more freedom to modders

[tropic belfry]

What

Mmmm sounds cool but I refuse to use a staff

I'm no mage

[knotty flax]

You can build your own staff, and, at this moment in time the staff multi tool is the most powerful multi tool in the game

[mighty monolith]

The one thing I've asked for and want is an actual multitool display base part , not just a storage rack. I want to build a base to display, all the tools I've found

[knotty flax]

I would love that

[tropic belfry]

Yessss

[tropic belfry]

Ohhhh that's cool, but I want a cool rifle !

[knotty flax]

Haha I feel ya

[tropic belfry]

Also rifles are ao

Tiny

[mighty monolith]

I've mocked up ideas and sent them to HG but so far not happened. I was hopeful when tbe storage thing arrived and hoped it's a start point for a proper display

[tropic belfry]

I expect longer things that u have to use 2 hands to hold and feels powerful

[knotty flax]

A sword multi tool!!!

Oooooh I want one now

I'm ruined lol

[tropic belfry]

Nah

I refuse to use ranged swords

[knotty flax]

I'd do the same if I thought they'd listen. I mean, who on earth wanted to mine asteroids with a multi tool? They could remove that and I wouldn't mind at all

[tropic belfry]

It kills the purpose of a sword

[knotty flax]

I would have it as melee only

[mighty monolith]

There is a line of dialogue that pops up at one point about an npc drawing his laser sword. People lost their minds thinking we might get light sabres

[knotty flax]

Lol yeah people will do that

[tropic belfry]

THEN YESSS

[knotty flax]

Hahaha

[tropic belfry]

LIGHT SPEAR!

[knotty flax]

Aw I'd be down, hell yeah

[tropic belfry]

I'm on the rifles are best long ranges and spear are best close range team!

[knotty flax]

Let us build sentinel ships, and let us build melee and rail gun multi tools

[tropic belfry]

Ohhhh and u could give it custom colours!

[knotty flax]

Hell yeah

[tropic belfry]

YESS

TOMORROW

[knotty flax]

Hahaha

Yes tomorrow!!

[tropic belfry]

TOMORROW WE TAKE OVER THE HQ

[knotty flax]

Lol!

I'm in

[tropic belfry]

THERE WILL BE BLOOD

AND SACRIFICES

[knotty flax]

Hahaha

Damn I better post a multi tool or else we might get told off hahaha

[tropic belfry]

BUT ITS FOR THE UNIVERSE WELL BEING

[knotty flax]

Hell yeah

[tropic belfry]

Oh right let me find deoxys

[knotty flax]

Baby one

[teal imp]

is this an experimental?

[knotty flax]

I believe it is yes

A pistol variation of the rifle ones

[tough hill]

It is experimental, yes

[tough hill]

I always saw that as a JoyCon rifle 😄

[knotty flax]

It looks like one I had near the beginning

I used to love mine

[tough hill]

Always had a soft spot for rifle, that tech slot count felt like christmas compared to the pistol lol

[knotty flax]

Lol I feel you there

You can get some awsone looking ones too though tbf, even without the odd alien piece on it

[tropic belfry]

a what???

is deoxys :D

[tough hill]

The red/blue color is basically Switch Joy Con colors 😛

[wanton parcel]

Chat poor HG

Do that to epic games for murdering Dauntless 😥

[knotty flax]

And for murdering rocket league

[tough hill]

TYVM for sharing this, this MT is above average for the stats too

[knotty flax]

You're very welcome mate 🫡

It's my most used multi tool

[wanton parcel]

Yk what dauntless is?

[knotty flax]

I've heard of it yes

[wanton parcel]

I have played it

Spent like hours on it

100 or so

They shut it down this may

I didn't even get to say my goodbyes

Last time I played it was like 3 years ago

[wanton parcel]

I mean may of 2025 btw

[knotty flax]

Damn

[tropic belfry]

QUESTION

Can u make a staff look like a spear

[mint wing]

I dont think there is apart that looks like spear tip.

[tropic belfry]

Shame

Worst game ever I can't make my highly specific thing in a system not made for it

[knotty flax]

You can make one similar, although the tip won't be pointy

[tropic belfry]

Can u show me examples?

[knotty flax]

I actually don't have any pictures of the staff

I can show you a picture of all the parts though if you like?

Another way is to go to a terminal at a phage camp yourself and have a play around with the staff parts

That way you will see much better what you want to see

[tropic belfry]

I still didn't do the main story so I can't do that yet

[knotty flax]

Aah I see. I don't have any pics of built staffs except ones I've found which don't look like spears. Tbh even the head that does look most like a spear is too fat anyway

Best you look at pictures of the parts online, see if you like any of them

We could do with more staff parts imo

[tropic belfry]

Fine, I'll do it myselfmods it

[knotty flax]

Gimme one!

[mighty nova]

Do the weapons like blaze javelin and stuff affect the damage potential when you compare weapons

[tough hill]

Yes they do

So the best apples to apples, or closest we can get, is to install the exact same weapons, the exact same upgrades, and in exactly the same adjacency, down to the same SC'ed tech, do the damage potential comparison have any objectivity in it

[tawdry siren]

Better off removing all weapons tech and upgrades except mining laser or equivilent and making sure not supercharged and then comparing

[royal tulip]

So, I've been burning off a few Harmonic scrap maps, and have collected a handful of the multi-tools. Is it worth repairing them before turning them into junk?
Note, I already have 2 really good multi-tools that I use.

[tough hill]

I dont think it's worth repairing if they are doomed for the scrap heap anyway

[knotty flax]

I found this online, it could be helpful.

[dry lichen]

There are 5 different types of multitool
-# proceeds to list 8

[tough hill]

Well there are the Pistol-y, Rifle-y, staff, arm-laser-y and weird (alien) MTd

[tawdry siren]

So is it trying to say there is an equal chance of getting c class and A class, or am i reading it wrong?

Or is it badly worded and mean there are 3 pools of multitool?

[dry lichen]

It's Craig doing Craig things

Disregard

[knotty flax]

So this list isn't helpful?

[dry lichen]

It's ok if you just look at the numbers and ignore the text

We have a pin that's similar #nms-multitools message

[knotty flax]

I feel like the text is saying a similar thing, only the pic I posted goes into more detail

[dry lichen]

Detail that isn't accurate

[knotty flax]

Aaah righto. How so though?

Like which part?

[dry lichen]

All of it except the loading part and what counts as switching the pool

Multitool spawns, classes and how to manipulate them are far too complicated to put into a couple sentences

[knotty flax]

Well I know from hunting multi tools from sentinel pillars that you can sometimes change the colour of the multi tool based on where you reload. So a system with 6 planets can produce 6 different colour multi tools, 7 if you include the spacestation.

I don't know anything about changing its class

[tawdry siren]

I dont do alot of multitool hunting, I know there are at least 2 pools on planet, then you have Atlantid pool, the sentinel pool and then the sentinel switch off terminal pool

[dry lichen]

Not even getting into Prime planets and how they modify the hunt

[knotty flax]

I know how to manipulate atlantid multi tools, including the slots

[dry lichen]

The text also seems to imply that S class either doesn't exist or is random

When it is the cabinet itself that sets class

[knotty flax]

Yeah he mentions only A B and C, bit at the top he also mentions the chance of getting an S

I also think when he says there are 5 multi tools, then lists 8, I think I get why. Some are the same, but look different. So I think he just showed the 8 different types in terms of looks, but mentioned 5 in terms of their functionality

[tawdry siren]

stuff like this best place for info are Creative Hub and people like Gumsk who look into the files, or Mjstral who reversed engineered the game

[knotty flax]

Aye, that would be cool if someone can make sense of it

I'm confused now lol

[dry lichen]

That's because the multiools are more complex than people think

[tawdry siren]

i think there is an updated graphic on his site than the one you showed

and says 8

[knotty flax]

Aah ok

[dry lichen]

Treat Facebook like the Wiki

Tons of correct info

Not everything

[knotty flax]

I don't know about these sites tbh. I got this pic from Google

[tawdry siren]

same as youtube

[knotty flax]

For real

Youtube is so bad these days

[tawdry siren]

only person i trust on youtube is xaine to some extent

[knotty flax]

I'm old so I don't trust many things I see online anyway lol

My aim was just to show the abilities of the multi tools tbh, I'm not really interested in the text because I know how to hunt multi tools, and thats all I need really

[tawdry siren]

but i seen so much bad info about exotics, then they try and argue with me, im like dude ive over 650 documented exotic finds

[knotty flax]

Yeah, it's people that answer a question that's already been answered. You get what I mean? Like, one of the things I hated about reddit before I left was that you could answer queries with the best and only possible answer. Then, someone will always come and answer the question again, then someone else, and someone else.

It's a society of know it alls

I can't stand them.

[tawdry siren]

People like Gumsk look at the files though, and like I said Mjstral reversed engineered the game, and people at creative hub, do this kinda thing all the time

so i trust that info

[knotty flax]

Cool cool, I've never heard of those people, but sounds cool

[tawdry siren]

but also over time stuff changes maybe, so we also have to make sure information is up to date, as how something used to work, might not work the same way anymore

[knotty flax]

The picture I posted is still a good valuable bit of information if you're looking for the answers to what multi tools are best for what

I don't think that has changed tbh

Although, I could be wrong of course

[tawdry siren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1044568385679282177/1411676814681706526/image.png?ex=695e45fc&is=695cf47c&hm=11529cf0f932bdbdcaba852465a7cb8a6e3777ee672ce785bfbe2cf8870e6967& is good enough

[knotty flax]

Tis indeed

I didn't know that was posted when I posted mine though lol

[tawdry siren]

people just dont check pins alot

[knotty flax]

I never check pins, mostly because I still haven't figured discord out yet hahaha

I swear, I'm a dinosaur when it comes to apps and tech and whatnot

[mint wing]

Pins in this discord have tons of usefull info

[knotty flax]

I'll bet

Like how do I see a pin from this channel?

From here, right now, what do I click on?

[tawdry siren]

drawing pin top right

[knotty flax]

I don't have that

[tawdry siren]

on phone?

or pc?

[knotty flax]

Yes mate, phone

I don't have a pc

[tawdry siren]

click on channel name

[knotty flax]

Ah ok

Crap haha, found it

Ty

I've literally been on discord for years

🤦‍♂️

[tawdry siren]

yer desktop layout is different

[knotty flax]

One day I might get a pc. I wouldn't have a damn clue what to do with it but I guess I need to try learn someday

My kids always laugh at me hahaha

[tough hill]

PC is a nice thing to use once you get around to using it

[knotty flax]

So it seems. I need one for so many things, mainly music and streaming

I'll get one one day

[zinc barn]

Need help finding a good multi tool! Had one and accidentally traded it and didn’t notice, so it’s gone 🙁

[knotty flax]

What kind are you looking for? A deadly weapon, an awsome scanner, or something great for mining? Or, an all rounder?

[zinc barn]

All rounder

[knotty flax]

Ah OK cool. Now what kind of help do you need? Do you want to know the location and the destination of a good one? Or do you want to know of ways to go find them yourself?

[zinc barn]

Which ever is easier!

[knotty flax]

Well, easiest is to go get one that's good that someone already found

I can do that for you if you like

[zinc barn]

Please

[knotty flax]

OK np. Someone else might offer you one too, so I'll post mine for you and you can take it until you find a better one if you like

Brb

[zinc barn]

[junior patrol]

Is this kinda the best?

[zinc barn]

So do I gotta go to a specific planet or something? I don’t know how this works lol

[junior patrol]

depends on what you want, one for all purposes may not be the best choice for min-max, but overall - just hunt sentinels, get pillar and fish for royal one, which look like a spear end

but that is mostly for scanning

as a weapon just pick up nice rifle from station, just hunt for A minimum

[knotty flax]

This is a good all rounder

First pic is the slots, second pic is the glyphs you need for the portal, bottom left pic is the coordinates once you're in that system, bottom right pic is the colours you'll get if you reload restore point on those planets

[junior patrol]

is it a way to get a source of item? or not really?

[zinc barn]

Thank you! Also funny enough I just entered a SS and it has a S class to buy lol

[knotty flax]

Nice lol

[knotty flax]

Sorry, I don't understand the question

[junior patrol]

I have one nice setup, but I didn't save where I get it from

[knotty flax]

Aaaah I see. I've done that so many times in the past lol

I try to save all info on my finds nowadays

I still lose them sometimes or forget to take a pic lol

[junior patrol]

that is more for share as I renamed my just in case 🙂

[knotty flax]

Haha

Bless ya

[junior patrol]

because this is good to share (was A, 4th slot is on mining)

[rancid scarab]

Sorry for the low quality my steam wasn't taking screenshots so I had to use my phone

[neat pike]

Looks like there's a big white glowing orb lol

[rancid scarab]

Yeah MB my flash was on

[tough hill]

Fauna stat is a bit weak and it's the most important, but other wise it's pretty good

Ps anyone know of a sentinel or staff tool location with a cross shaped SC layout?

[torn junco]

What's the best overall weapon on a multi tool

[tough hill]

Most people like Neutron cannon because of the low upkeep associated with it, but boltcaster and pulse splitters are decent options too

[jade plank]

I discovered red completely black staff different variations possible from b class uograded

[tough hill]

Do you have the glyphs and coordinates of the station you used?

[jade plank]

Yeah ill post it later there is also a yellow and a blue one on another planet its a hassle to get the black it sometimes pops up and then doesnt

[tough hill]

It depends on where you are standing for that second colour, it's really annoying

[jade plank]

Yrah but even on the same spot it doesnt give you the same color so i kept changing positions until i got black

[heady pond]

This looks like the result of a bug matey

[knotty flax]

I do indeed

[knotty flax]

It is a bug, and it usually corrects itself after a while

[heady pond]

I’m aware, Usually is the key word, I would suspect shenanigans if not

[tough hill]

... may I ask you for it? 😄

[knotty flax]

Exactly yeah lol

[knotty flax]

Of course bro. I'll dm you, coz the staff is from a video

[tough hill]

The main shenanigan I found with the terminal is that, if you attempt to assemble the staff twice, but back out before commiting, and if you do that twice without completely backing out of the terminal, the terminal's seed changes.

It doesn't just change the color, it changes the entire staff's mods, class and SC slots

And this 'new' seed seems to be depend on where exactly you are standing

[heady pond]

This is the standard after relics and is a primary way to source alternative seeds from the one terminal namely colours, It came after the head component no longer changes the colour palette.

The colour can be a factor in this change more likely than none.

I attached a guide and my prior findings for reference

#nms-multitools message

Even tho this is rather silly to change the colour, this is not the shenanigan I am referring to, the colour in the image above is not naturally occurring in the colour palette for staves, or any for that matter, it’s either a temporary visual bug or the staff has had its colour palette changed to -1

[tough hill]

Ah, so this was intended

[heady pond]

Wouldn’t say intended, it’s hardly a functional thing, this alternative seed rolling has been around a lot longer than relics tho, how the staff head component affected the outcome came with relics, that change is more likely a byproduct of the update.

Side note, On the black staff, Hopping on a save editor and quickly changing the linked palette to -1 has the desired outcome, tho this is permanent until manually changed.

Would be interested in coords plus lat/long from the OP for testing.

[jade plank]

Ive got another black staff just with another rod on it but its still black thats awhilr ago its valid color it comes at different autophage stations asswell i dint think its a bug

[heady pond]

Definitely a bug, the colour isn’t part of these staves natural palette.

If you have coords and lat/long of the terminal plus position if you did require that, this will help to verify

[jade plank]

Ill post the coordinates later

[heady pond]

I also doubt I have to ask if you play with mods that would alter generation or have altered colour via a SE

[heady pond]

Sounds good matey I’ll keep my eye out.

[crimson sky]

Do better quality multi-tools show up in higher percengage in richer star systems similarly to freighters?

[tough hill]

Higher class, yes

[heady pond]

Class is rolled against system economy, can view the attached chart for reference.

Percentage chance rolled each ship spawn.

[jade plank]

Here is the coordinates and the galaxy gliphs for the black staff see if its a bug or not

[heady pond]

Thanks matey, did the colour appear on the initial construction of the staff or was it linked to a certain player location?

[jade plank]

I think location but i couldnt grt the black back at the same position so i changed many times and run into another one but black with yellow its annoying

[knotty flax]

All the sources I've checked are saying there is no black colour for the multi tool staffs. The nearest to it is a darkish grey apparently

This is backed up by my own tests, because I've had black staffs many times but they always change after awhile. It's due to the colour not loading in properly, or taking time to load in properly.

If you do have a black staff and it stays black, it's been manipulated by a mod or something. Apparently.

[heady pond]

I like to give the benefit of the doubt that these kinds of “posts” are genuinely confusion of a game bug.

Irrespective of the results from going to that terminal, the staff is a texture bug or modified by a mod or save editor as I have shown above.

But definitely, this black is not in the possible procgen palette

[knotty flax]

100%

I'm like you, I don't judge that it's a mod instantly, because I've seen many people ask about this and 99% of them just didn't know it was a bug

I'm always aware of that 1% though, those that could be seeking attention. Crazy I know, but this is the Internet, nothing is outlandish here haha

♥️

By the way, I'd like to share what I learned from someone in another server about multi tools if that's OK.

First, you choose a Korvax system. I prefer systems with many planets, as this increases the chances of finding four connected superchargers. Then, find a monolith. Ideally, your multitool should be a C-class, but a B-class will also work. Make a note of the superchargers you already have available. It's important to build a base at the monolith with a teleporter. The class and the number of available superchargers are always the same at the same monolith. These are marked with an X in the image. The superchargers that become available when upgrading your class depend on where you last loaded a restore point. So, you need to fly to a planet or space station. Exit your ship to save a restore point.
Then you load this restore point and subsequently fly back to the monolith. (This is clearly visible in HeRo's last video with the Atlantid Multitool). Next, you purchase the multitool and teleport to a space station. You then upgrade the multitool to see where the superchargers appear with each upgrade and note them down. They are marked "1" and "2" in the image. Then you can load the restore point and return to the monolith. Repeat this process for each planet and space station.

In the image, you can see that "1" and "2" are located together on the space station and on the planet Moloc. Now you just need to find a monolith where the open superchargers are located next to "1" and "2".

[heady pond]

Looks interesting, it takes advantage of the system pool, is the outcome intended that the multitool you are manipulating is the same model? Or just the layout?

If it’s the former I’m keen on trying when I get off work tomorrow.

[knotty flax]

Yeah just the layout, as you may know reloading can change how it looks.

The guy I learned this from is honestly the best finder I've ever seen in nms

He finds the badass stuff all the time lol

[heady pond]

Ah in that case if the layout changes along with model this would be a normal occurrence as the outcome is drawing from the system pool and monolith (cabinet)

[knotty flax]

The layout of the slots yeah

I don't mind what a tool looks like as long as it does the business

This guy found the most powerful staff in the game too I believe, I could be wrong but I'm sure it's him

[heady pond]

Had to edit my comment I mixed up info.

But yeh the manipulation is really just normal, seed being changed base on the pool the player loaded. This would occur with any multitool cabinet.

It’s primarily used to view multiple tool models in that system.

[heady pond]

If I had a dime for everyone that said that 😂

[knotty flax]

Yeah lol but this is real. He found the diamond slot staff with 200k+ damage potential.

I know that it's just a number and can differ to actual attack numbers, but it's a bloody powerful staff lol

https://youtu.be/qHLQOtvAdCc?si=GEiSX6Zt_7Dkr93W

It's from this video. I mightve got the wrong guy who found it though lol

8mins 30sec in

[heady pond]

I’ve definitely seen this vid and tuber the number is satisfying but I find the information inaccurate.

Nonetheless if a player wanted a nice number it definitely reaches that 😂

Tho the good thing is, if he has used perfect modules that will likely be the cap.

[knotty flax]

Yeah he used really good upgrades tbf.

[knotty flax]

Which part is inaccurate?

[heady pond]

“Most powerful” damage potential has no correlation to your weapons actual damage.

“Highest damage potential” or “200k damage potential” would at least be true. But that’s me genuinely being picky lol, I understand the appeal of one thumbnail over another.

[knotty flax]

Oh yeah I know the damage numbers can differ to the damage potential. For me, seeing that 200k on the staff, and not seeing anything close to that from anything else makes me feel good about it.

And tbh, most powerful multi tools have excessive stats anyway. Like min maxing ships, you just don't need that high a stat lol

[jade plank]

I only use the colossal corvette build area and a camera so you can delete stuff thats stuck under the floor ( corvette station) only these mods i didnt change any in save editor i just got this staff at a station and its black i have another one ( with another rod thats not black) and its still black after a long while so i dont know whats up but here i am with a black staff 🙂

[heady pond]

I can understand that, I remember when players found how absolutely fucked the neutron cannon would affect the DP stat.

Started a NMS version of the space race.

The closest I ever came to the cap was this tool, pretty happy with my results given I should have been working 😬

[heady pond]

lol, but melting shit is super fun aswell.

(Above ship is made with a no longer in game repeatable glitch)

[knotty flax]

Yeah that's bangin

Upon sear hing for staffs myself I've only been able to find T slot staffs as my best. Finding a good looking staff with good slots is even hardsr

The guy I know used neutron cannon in his 200k staff

It proper wrecks

I picked it up myself but didn't use beastmode additions and it still wrecked

[heady pond]

Yeh I’m pretty indifferent tbh, if the tool looks good but has poor slots I’ll more than likely take it if I’m only wanting it for visuals.

I prefer looks in this regard.

[knotty flax]

I feel ya there

I took one for looks lol

[heady pond]

Yeh you’ll only get this high of a value with that weapon type, the neutron cannon has a broken damage calculation, It assumes you will fire faster then what is possible in the game.

[knotty flax]

Aaaah ok. Tbh I didn't even get my staff to 100k damage potential and it still 2 shot everything I could find

Or was it 3 shot? I can't remember. I use my atlantid tool nowadays as I mine more than I kill stuff atm

[heady pond]

Yeh my favourite will always be Atlantids, I love their style.

Added bonus of having a chip in there, fits with my aesthetic

[knotty flax]

These are the best staffs I've found without help so far.

[knotty flax]

Yeah I love em mate

Probably my favourite too tbh

This is mine, I don't have upgrades yet though. I'm too busy finding things lol but it works great even without them.

[knotty flax]

Holy crap I just noticed something, I think. Do you have the flamethrower? 👀

[jade plank]

Not sure if you noticed but thats the black color i referring to on these staffs

[knotty flax]

I don't have black on mine though mate

These are grey

[jade plank]

Look at the black stuff on the head and the rodd

The color is in game then on staffs

But anyways i got a black staff might have found a unicorn! 🙃

[knotty flax]

Yeah thats not it

[knotty flax]

Maybe, who knows 🤷‍♂️

[jade plank]

You guys said that color wasnt on the staffs palette, wel it is as you can see

But i do me you guys do you enjoy the game 👍

[knotty flax]

Because it isn't

Just because some tiny details exist in black, it doesn't mean its in the pallette. We're talking about the main colours, primary and secondary.

[heady pond]

Correct, kept then duplicated from all those years ago lol

[knotty flax]

Woa!!!

Omg I want that so bad lol

Rarest weapon in the game right there

[heady pond]

By palette we refer to primary and secondary, the parts you have mentioned do not change or have limited gradients.

There is a very obvious difference between them and what you originally posted.

[jade plank]

Ehat i said i do me and you do you i'vr got a unicorn enjoy the game and have fun🫡

[crimson sky]

Thank you, that's super helpful!

[knotty flax]

That one looks cool!

I wish it had better slots, but even with those it might be worth a pickup

Is it also at the spacestation in that system? The last one I found was duped at the station but it had different slots

[livid fractal]

do you remember where you got it? Cause I might be interested in getting it for a friend

[knotty flax]

Oh yeah, I got the info for you one sec

Here ya go 🫡 #nms-multitools message

Quite a few people have picked it up, apparently its one of the best tools you can get for mining

So your friend should be happy 😊

[livid fractal]

ty

[knotty flax]

You're welcome 🫡

[tame temple]

Nice red base and black crystal Alien MT with okay slot distribution

dragon-y

[stiff cape]

anyone have any good s class rifle locations?

[mighty monolith]

Thanks

[formal thistle]

Does anyone have the location for a red and gold royal multitool?

Does one even exist? I can’t find one

[tough hill]

https://nmsce.com/preview?i=9c245eb1-67bb-4606-a396-4ea2751a19312

[knotty flax]

Sure it does. Here, I posted one further up there ^ #nms-multitools message

If you want the red and gold one just reload restore on the appropriate planet before accepting the multi tool from the sentinel pillar.

[formal thistle]

Omg THANK YOU IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR SO LONG

[knotty flax]

You are totally welcome 🫡

[junior patrol]

finally I found it, A royal 3sc scanner:

now how to find portal and I can share coordinates for others

[tough hill]

You can use the camera function

the portal coords will be printed on the bottom left, then use print screen to take a screenshot

[tough hill]

and don't forget the coo0rdinates

like these:

[knotty flax]

Thats fire. Best one I've seen other than square and t slots so far

[junior patrol]

I made base and uploaded it for easier search with reflective name

[junior patrol]

4 slot is afar though

[knotty flax]

So you haven't upgraded to 4 slots yet? Oooooh I wonder if it will become a square

[junior patrol]

but it is not like 4th slot would boost even more

[junior patrol]

nah I know that it is far 🙂

[knotty flax]

Oh it does boost

[knotty flax]

Aaaah ok. It's still a beast mode royale

Good find

[junior patrol]

I find it again actually, as I have this for a week or so but didn't save coordinates as didn't think about that,so spend a bunch of hours finding where I get it. Luckily I had screenshot of it so I had minimum time back to not explore all of the galaxy again 🙂

[knotty flax]

Haha awsome. You did good. This extra info is very helpful to those who want to go get a good tool

[junior patrol]

funny that the system it is in was discovered 7 years back by some warcraft fan, but planet was never visited

[knotty flax]

That's lucky. Ive found systems like that. You know, you can probably change the colour of that multi tool by reloading a restore point on the other planets in that system, including the spacestation and the planet you found it on

It doesn't work with every tool, but if it's a 6 planet system you can potentially get that tool in 6 different colours

[junior patrol]

it is, but on another planet it is not royal gun

i think on the another planet in the system there is also royal but it didn't have nice sc, but may be wrong here

[knotty flax]

I think the slots are the same for all the royale tools in that system, but I could be wrong about that. When I did this the slots didn't change, only the colour. Look here

#nms-multitools message

[knotty flax]

Yes this can also happen lol

[junior patrol]

when flying between planets I saw the same gun reappearing but it is not consistent

[knotty flax]

Yeah, I haven't worked it out properly yet, but someone will know better. All I know is how this particular tool of mine worked out.

[static sphinx]

guys how do i get like that stuff thing i looked it up but i evreone says u need to do some queset but no one says reslly what the quests are so can someone help me

[knotty flax]

https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/471868642204712971

Put it in here 👍

[torn junco]

What is the best primary weapon overall to use on multi tools

[formal fossil]

Neutron cannon

[tawdry siren]

Whichever you like using most

[formal thistle]

Hey can you give me a lift to that galaxy 😭

I just learnt that theres 255 galaxies and getting to that specific one will take a very long time

[knotty flax]

There's actually 256, the last one being Odyalutai, but sure I can give you a lift np

Can lift you to 256 too if you like. Lemme know 👍

[knotty flax]

Neutron cannon is widely considered the best on terms of power and damage. You can do fine with other weapons though 👍

[formal thistle]

Omg

Thank you i can’t get on for a while

Should I dm you my no man’s sky friend code

[tulip swan]

Proud neutron cannon elitist.
Best weapon.

[knotty flax]

Same hehe

[knotty flax]

Yeah ya can do. I'm on UK time so just message me when you're on and I'll see where we go from there 🫡

[knotty flax]

Found quite a nice little alien MT.

To get it, follow the glyphs in the above pic, then fly to this ⬇️ planet and create a restore point by landing and hopping out of your ship. Reload that restore point from this planet

After that, follow these coordinates to get the MT

[tough hill]

What's the stats/SC slots ?

[knotty flax]

Not the best, but not the worst

[neat pike]

Frrr it's so versatile

• Doesn't consume ammo
• High damage output at max charge
• Quick charge time
• Perfectly usable by spamming/not charging
• Pretty darn good accuracy at high charge

[verbal bison]

If you upgrade it enough, its charge time becomes the duration of a normal mouseclick. I only end up with less than a full charge if I deliberately try to tap as briefly as I can

[humble tartan]

I do not see the base

erm

[junior patrol]

hm, I uploaded it, what the name of the planet you have?

[humble tartan]

ur id would be oblachko?

I see luntos suzuk

[junior patrol]

yeah

[humble tartan]

azeroth system

[junior patrol]

planet is correct

[humble tartan]

i see that your base is there in discoveries but the base icon doesn't show

[junior patrol]

I assumed that it should be there what else I missed on base? 🙂

[humble tartan]

could u give coords somehow

just tell me is it near the portal (same side of planet?)

ty

[junior patrol]

I guess you found 🙂

[humble tartan]

ye ty

nice sentinel (I think) ship

[junior patrol]

yeah. tp to the first dissonant through nexus and got that one as A

with not bad slots either

[humble tartan]

nice

[humble tartan]

sheesh

[junior patrol]

If for some reasons base didn't appear for others, here are coordinates for royal scanner:

[junior patrol]

for this I have coordinates btw if needed

[knotty flax]

Sometimes a player base doesn't appear until the maker of the base is there too

I've had this problem in the past before

[mighty monolith]

3 Black and 3 Grey S Class Atlantid Multitools - Eissentam Galaxy

[dusky portal]

Wish I was around for the atlas staff

[neat pike]

You can use save editing to replay past expeditions

[dusky portal]

K

[knotty flax]

Same! I'm still baffled as to why they haven't brought it back as a redux during the new influx of players. I know they have brought it back a while ago, but they need to do it again.

[dusky portal]

Going to need to help me with goat fungus on sunday then.

Want to do 17 for the wraith

[neat pike]

wat

[knotty flax]

Magic staff

And another

[fallow bronze]

Damm that’s good

[wooden breach]

which system are you on

[junior patrol]

Linux (PC)

[wooden breach]

where did you find this?

[wooden breach]

I mean galaxy is this Euclid or where?

[junior patrol]

yeah, as in previous screenshots (it didn't went well with posting everything in one chunk)

[digital prism]

I put in the glyph portal coords and enter portal and now on a new planet what am I looking for to find the multitool I’m wanting, where would the multitool be at?

[wooden breach]

which multitool are you going after? some others posted are by sentinel camps, some are by buildings, some are by the metophage terminals.

[digital prism]

A purple sentinel staff s class

[wooden breach]

Staff you would use the Autophage, you need to find the Autophage camp, you could try Echo Locator

[digital prism]

I got the portal glyph off of the nms app

No idea what echo locator is

[wooden breach]

how far are you into the quest line?

[digital prism]

The first traveler null the stranger

[wooden breach]

I tried send you message is this one your trying to get?

[knotty flax]

In the 250th galaxy. Click the pic for the glyphs

The top right pic

[wooden breach]

Ok thank you, I have not made it out that far yet.

[knotty flax]

No problem. I'm giving people a lift to that galaxy if they want it. Not sure if you have the Atlantid drive mission done yet or even if that matters

But I could take you after this one guy I'm taking later

[wooden breach]

Yes I have that done, if you do give people lift and have time let me know

[knotty flax]

Absolutely. Np at all

[wooden breach]

thank you

[digital prism]

Yes

[wooden breach]

ok it also says 8.90 and 34.20 I am guessing thatr is the coordinates as well

[digital prism]

Ah ok gotcha thanks

[wooden breach]

Planet is Echig

[digital prism]

I didn’t see the coordinates lol

Thanks

[wooden breach]

Is also a communication station set up so you should be able to fly towards that

[digital prism]

Awesome

[wooden breach]

If you dont have the Authophage questline complete dont think you will be able to see or purchase from the camp.

[digital prism]

Ok gotcha ya thanks

[scenic latch]

You can see the harmonic camp, lore autophage, base computer, and sentinel multi-tool cabinet all without doing the quest. The quest is only required for accessing staff related stuff afaik

[knotty flax]

Ello. I'm ready to take you to galaxy 250 whenever you are 👍

[heady pond]

shhhh Don’t tell them I said this but, take them to galaxy 251

[wooden breach]

Sorry I was in bed asleep

[knotty flax]

Ah you're all good. I'll be back on nms a bit later. Just dm me your friend code and I'll add you. I'm on UK time so I'll dm you when I'm back on

[modern canyon]

😮

[wooden breach]

What?

[modern canyon]

I want that multi tool skin so bad

One day

[wooden breach]

Oh the image shows you where to get it

[modern canyon]

Yeah…. TY it will take me time for I’m learning the game again

When I get mines it will solely be used as a plasma launcher

[civic wedge]

I have yet to test this thing but 42k damage potential seems fancy

[magic sundial]

Lotta power in that ones design

[serene flame]

Would it be better to have like a multi tool that's an ace of all trades or have multiple multi tools for different purposes?

[civic wedge]

In most of my saves I just make one all-purpose multitool. I think it's a good idea to have one like that, for convenience.

But also I think this time I will try to make a specialized weapon (See above) and also trying to absolutely max out a scanning and mining multitool seperately too

[serene flame]

Ic

[serene flame]

DAMN

Sentinel tech does look stunning tbf

42K DMG WHAT

[civic wedge]

Apparently that number is a scam and the gun is way better with a boltcaster and a measly 15k damage potential
